This schedule is designed for Post-Secondary/adult students. High school students should see their high school counselor for information on available programs and for registration details.

To qualify for in-state tuition, a student (or the parents or legal guardian if the student is under 23 years old and not emancipated) must have been domiciled in Colorado for 12 or more continuous months immediately preceding the first day of classes. Domicile for tuition purposes is determined by two factors: the ability to show a permanent place of residence in Colorado and the ability to demonstrate intent to remain in Colorado. Several ways to prove intent to remain include providing evidence such as: Paying Colorado income taxes Being permanently employed in Colorado Owning residential Colorado real estate Holding a Colorado drivers license or vehicle registration Registering to vote
R E S I D E N C Y RE QU I RE M E N T S
NON-COLORADO RESIDENTS may attend Pickens Technical College, but under the provisions of the Colorado Statute 23-7-101 to 104, must pay out-of-state tuition when enrolled in state supported programs, which is two times the in-state rate. Immigrant and non-immigrant aliens must show their Permanent Resident card or visa to determine residency for tuition purposes. Active duty military personnel and their dependents upon moving to Colorado on a (PCS) basis are eligible for resident tuition rates. English is the language used in all programs. Therefore, a basic ability to read, understand, write and speak English is essential for the student to be able to succeed.

Notification of changes must be sent to funding agencies. Please contact the Financial Aid Office for assistance.
* When a student registers for a class or program, space is reserved under the assumption the student plans to complete the course(s). A student record is started in the Registration Office computer. * When a student drops or withdraws completely from the school, the registration receipt, which verifies financial information, and is used as student identification, must be surrendered to the Registration Office. It will be replaced with a copy of the drop/withdrawal form. * Until a student officially drops or withdraws at the Registration Office, the enrollment remains active with absences and grades recorded.
P R OC E D UR E T O W I T H D R A W F R OM A C L A S S / P R O GR A M

F I N A N C IA L A ID
The refund policy for Pickens Technical College is based on the fact that tuition provides approximately 25 percent of the cost of education. When a student enrolls in a program/class, he/she reserves a place which cannot be made available to another student until he/she officially drops the program/class. In addition, a students original enrollment represents a sizable cost to the State of Colorado whether or not he/she continues in the program/class. To be eligible for a tuition refund, a student must officially drop the program/class and apply for a refund within the refund time period. There is a processing period of approximately three to four weeks from the time a student requests a tuition refund to the time the refund check is mailed. * One hundred percent(100%) refund, less $20.00 processing fee, is granted to students for classes dropped from the first day of class through refund date. Refund date is the date when 15% of the semester has occurred. * * No refund will be given for fees and other obligations not retrievable by the institution. No refund will be given once 15% or more of the semester has elapsed.
R EFU N D P O LI C Y

When the class section is canceled due to lack of enrollment or other causes, the school will notify the students who are entitled to a 100% refund. Students may come to the Registration/Records Office and choose from the class sections still available to substitute for the canceled class or apply for a refund. Records will not be released until all obligations to Pickens Technical College are fulfilled. A student receiving financial aid who withdraws during the semester may be required to repay a portion of the financial aid. For more information concerning the methods of determining when a repayment may be due, contact the Financial Aid Office or refer to the Financial Aid Handbook. Students whose tuition is being paid by an agency or third party are responsible for their tuition if the agency or third party does not pay.
Admissions, Registration & Student Services Information

A deferred payment plan is available to those students whose tuition is equal to or greater than $300. One-half of the tuition and a $10 processing fee is to be paid at the time of registration. The remainder of the contract is due 30 days from the date of registration. The contract is signed by the student or legal guardian for the unpaid balance. Students not paying the balance due by the due date will not be allowed to re-enroll until the balance is paid in full and transcripts will not be issued.
